Final post.

Egyptians celebrates the exit of Mubarak as his regime collapses.

This marks the end of my journey about the Egyptian protests.
I hope that the new democratic government will help the Egyptians both socially and economically.
Despite the fall of Mubarak, they have an uncertain future as there is currently no government in power.
This means that a transitional government is required to handle the change from the regime to a free, democratic government, of course with the assistance of the Egyptian military.
I feel that this eases tensions around the world as important sources of natural gas and oil can be found in Egypt, and may be restricted from being exported by the regime, which will cost an increase in the price of oil.
However, all this is over, which means oil-guzzling nations such as China can sigh in relief as the oil is free for export when the new government comes into power.
I can also heave a sigh of relief as the event ends the day before I do my presentation on this topic!
I wish the Egyptians the best of luck in their quest for democracy.
